corporal punishment -- Phillis Williams, 11:42:12 01/24/07 Wed
I am for corporal punishment to a certain extent. I have 3 children and I spanked them when I thought they needed to be spanked. I think there is a difference between corporal punishment and physical abuse. I think that what is considered corporal punishment differ from person to person. I would not give my children the kind of whippings I received as a child. I think they there is a difference between a parent spanking and a teacher spanking. The parent is close to his or her own child and that child knows that their parent loves him. A teacher on the other hand doesn't have that close connection with that child. I don't know whether there is a difference between teachers and nurses with regard to corporal punishment. If you're going to inflict pain on a child, a teacher or nurse don't matter.

After reading some of the articles on corporal punishment, I don't know if corporal punishment is the right thing to do. I will refrain from spanking my grandchildren and give them some other form of punishment. As for my children, I hope they aren't mentally affected by their spankings although, they didn't get very many.
